EUREKA POLICE: That ‘Abducted Child’ Case Friday Was Not a Case of Abduction At All, It Turns Out

On 12/09/16, at around 3:14 PM, Eureka Police Department officers responded to the 3300 block of Dolbeer Street on the report of a possible parental child abduction. Further investigation has revealed 10-year-old MacKenzie Fleek was erroneously reported to have been taken from that location by her mother, Nadine Schifano, in violation of a civil restraining order.

MacKenzie has been located and is safe out of state with her biological father who was granted full custody by the court. Schifano has been cleared of any involvement in her disappearance.
